Tigers (finally) get out of blocks

After a pair of postponements, track season finally got underway last week for the Falls City High.

FC’s boys and girls each finished second at the Falls City Quad Meet held last Thursday at Jug Brown Stadium. The meet was originally scheduled for Mar. 26, but pushed back due to inclement weather.

Savannah (MO) High School swept both team portions with 146 points by their girls’ team and 107 scored by the boys. The Lady Tigers compiled 61 points, while the boys finished with 68.

Claire Poppe and Lainey Larsen led the Lady Tigers with each finishing with a pair of first-place finishes and one second-place finish. Poppe was first in each of the hurdle events (100 – 18.18; 300 – 55.6, ) and joined Hayley Cochran, Krystal Samqua and Tressa Chandler on the second-place 400-meter relay team.

Larsen finished first in each of the long distance running events and along with Chandler, Samqua and Brooke Scheitel, helped the 3200-meter relay team to a second-place finish. Samqua was tops in the pole vault; Cochran won the long jump and Scheitel was third in the 800 meters

Haley Baxter finished first in the shot put, while Courtney Chapple earned second place in the discus.

Jeremy Robinson and Trenton Pentecost each earned one second and two first place medals. Robinson was first in the 300 hurdles, while Pentecost was first in the pole vault and the two joined Mitchell Harling and Brenden

Heckenlively on  the 1600-meter relay team which defeated Hiawatha by nearly 20 seconds. Pentecost was also a member of the second-place 3200-meter relay team, consisting of Heckenlivley, Brandon Gibson and Anthony Baker.

Harling was second in the long jump and third in the triple jump; Reese Hogue was tops in the discus, fourth in the 200 and second on the 400-meter team along with Harling, Tyler DiGiacomo and Zach Jordening, who tied for third in the 100-meter dash. Jordening was second in the high jump.

Friday Falls City travels to the Syracuse Invitational, which is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.
